About Tanya

Tanya Wood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and life transitions.

She focuses on practical skills and clear steps rather than jargon. Sessions typically include talking through what is happening now and trying small changes to see what helps. She draws on approaches that emphasize the client's voice and on therapies that target thinking patterns and emotional regulation.

Tanya has experience helping people who are navigating abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer related concerns, and divorce or separation. She also supports people working through commitment and control issues, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from disasters or domestic violence.

Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, practice new skills, and set achievable goals for changes that matter in daily life.

Tanya offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective, giving time to tell what matters and helping the therapist understand priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants a space to think things through and decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework. CBT is helpful for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and skill practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are often used to build emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what is useful. That means the approach can shift as issues change or progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals use these benefits to help clients practice skills between meetings and apply them to everyday situations.
